Bloggups for June 13
- T”he important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.” -Charles Du Bos
- Slashdot asks Are PDAs Simply Finished?. Answer: No. Duh. They’re evolving into smartphones. The ability to have your calendar, addressbook, email, and everything else on hand at all times is tremendously valuable. Real estate agents in Washington and elsewhere now use them to open lock boxes. Doctors find countless uses for the devices. The PalmOne Treo may be the best convergence device to date, a handy little slip of a thing that combines a PDA and web-enabled phone. Honestly, the number of geeks who think laptops are going to get light and small enough to replace PDAs is incredible.
- In another Slashdot post, there’s an interesting discussion of the challenges of being a uniquely bright INTP=. The venom that some people spewed in response to this honest query floors me. Will the people who told this kid to get over himself please get over themselves?
- What is it with cellphones and their attendant sense of entitlement?
- I watched Cassini take off from Cape Canaveral seven years ago, and it’s just approaching Saturn now. I understand ground controllers cut off communication with the probe for a while after the 736,000th time it asked, “Are we there yet?”
- You cannot truly understand the world unless you are willing to devote a few minutes a day to reading Fafblog.
- Also The Poor Man is pretty brilliant.
